The curve C has the equation y=3x/(9+x^2 ) (a) Find the turning points of the curve C (b) Using the fact that (d^2 y)/(dx^2 )=(6x(x^2-27))/(x^2+9)^3 or otherwise, classify the nature of each turning point of C

(a)To find the turning points of a curve, need to solve dy/dx=0. Using the quotient rule one can differentiate y:y=f(x)/g(x) dy/dx=(f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x))/(g(x))2f(x)=3x, f'(x)=3, g(x)=(9+x2...

Why do the trig addition formulae work?

Try differentiating:sin(x)cos(z-x)+cos(x)sin(z-x)with respect to x and for constant z, then simply the derivative you deduce, then integrate throughout the simplified equation. See what happens!

Why does 'x' need to be in radians to differentiate 'sin x'?

There are two definitions of the sine and cosine functions that anyone who uses contemporary maths, and I do mean anyone, uses silently or otherwise. The first is as follows:'Rotate the point (1,0) in Euc...

Differentiate y= (6x^2 - 5)^(3/2) with respect to x

Simplify the equation to y=u3/2 where u = 6x2 -5Use the chain ruledy/dx = dy/du x du/dxdy/du = (3/2)u1/2du/dx = 12x - 0Therefore dy/dx = (3/2)u1/2 x 12xBut u = ...
